A Master of Coin should not be receiving a str buff when a rogue is deployed using the Pirate Captain’s “Recruit Misfit” ability:
Pirate Captain’s Recruit Misfit says that it “enlists a random rogue from your deck to be deployed WITHOUT PAYING THE GOLD COST” (this functions as advertised). But, Master of Coin gains +1 strength “PER 4 GOLD SPENT on deploying cards” and yet it receives a buff when using Recruit Misfit. No gold is being spent, therefore Master of Coin shouldn’t get a buff.
Thanks!
Interesting point! 
I actually agree with you here. While I know of this “feature”, I simply tolerate it as a “challenge” to be overcome, not that Goblins are less challenging and fun! 
Since you are paying mana instead of gold to deploy him, he should not buff the Master of Coin.
But he does buff the Lich King, as expected.
I really think this is a bug though, and it should be fixed, if @JayKyburz (the developer) finds time to fix it. Thanks for highlighting it though! 
PS: BTW, I was just going over your record, and it is promising!
Want to play a game together? I could organize one maybe?
Thanks for @ing JayKyburz. I would not have thought to do that! I’m also glad I wasn’t misunderstanding something about how the cards should be interacting.
P.S. I’d love to play a game. I don’t have a huge selection of hero cards, but I make up for it in being obsessively strategic.
